Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I am sixty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app Krozier
Bellio Angel Staffo. Anybody a CPK fan on the show?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Like I am big? Yes? Please huge, Yes. I love CPK.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It's one of the all time great restaurants. I used
to work across the street from the original one on
Beverly Drive, and there was a line out the door
every night, and since then, it's been my favorite restaurant
to go to.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
My daughter loved it.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
My daughter went through a three year period where that's
all she ate is CPK. So whenever we like went
to Thanksgiving at a relative's house, we had to make
sure we stopped on the way or on the way
back at CPK.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I never really had one around where I lived, so
I was just not one out there.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
No, no, no, really, there's one in like further out
in Ontario, like Victoria Gardens.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's a great restaurant. Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Have you ever had the Kung Pow pasta? Oh? My god,
make it. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So I was at Costco two nights ago with my
lovely wife and I saw on the shelf California Pizza Kitchen,
Kung Poo pasta sauce.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You've talked about that for years, My god, buddy, I
literally talked about that for years.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I was doing cartwheels in the in the aisle, and
I bought two jars. You have by two jars. It's
one of those things where you know they sticky with
more than you could ever possibly eat for seven dollars
and ninety seven cents. And I took it home and
I made it last night, and then I was reading
the directions. I thought, you just put the sauce on
the noodles in your gold.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
The directions are go to the market by garlic.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Peppers, and scallions, at all the ingredients. Yeah, and then
fry those up and then put the sauce in and
let that simmer for you know, fifteen twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
W So you didn't do that. I did not do that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I just said the sauce right onto the pasta worst decision.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Ever. Did you realize right away or did you kind
of go something's different.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I took a bite. It tasted like a cleaning solution.
So I took another bite. Thing it's got to be me.
It wasn't. I don't know what happened, but look, we
can only be honest on the show. We'll tell you
if something's great, and we'll tell you something is horrible.
That is not the same Kung Pow pasta. You buy
(02:31):
a California Pizza Kitchen. I have spent over my lifetime,
probably tens of thousands of dollars at California Pizza Kitchen.
I still go there all the time. I love how
warm it is in there, I love the people work there,
I love how great the food is there. But layoff
the Kung Pow sauce at Costco. It's not the same.
(02:54):
It's not even close. It may even turn you off
of CPK, that's how crazy it is. But California Pete's Kitchen,
it's one of the fair places. A lot of great memories,
especially if you have kids. You know what I'm talking about.
You know, to go into there after a baseball game
or after recital or something, and Pete in that California
(03:15):
Pizz's Kitchen big part of my daughter's childhood. I enjoyed
every one of those visits. I love that place.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I got to keep that place in business, so I
go there all the time. All right, let's talk about
Dukes in Malibu.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Very popular restaurant Dukes closed down because of the fires
and the floods. Let's find out when Dukes is going
to open back up for restaurant tours or restaurant goers
or eaters.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Duke's Restaurant in Malibu announcing on Instagram they are hopeful
their Barefoot bar will be reopening in late July. The
beach favorite has been temporarily closed since the Palisades Fire
closed pch and then strong storms in February hit the
building with mud and debris. The restaurant suffered extensive damage
from the slide. Duke says they are looking forward to
(04:02):
rehiring their employees and welcoming.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes, that's great, Dukes one of the really cool places
to have dinner or lunch and look at the ocean.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Duke's back open in July. Airlined I the let's talk
about this here.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
The NTSB board and Boeing and training in Alaska airlines
there seemed to always be in the news.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
The NTSB is making about a dozen safety recommendations, primarily.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
This is that door that flew off the Alaska airline
the Boeing I think it was a seven thirty seven really.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
To the FAA and Boeing after finding the probable cause
here was Boeing's inadequate training, guidance and oversight of its
factory workers. After nearly eighteen months since the door panel
blew out of this Alaska Airline seven thirty seven Max
mid flight with one hundred and seventy seven people on board.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You know, this hit home rather and this is really
close to home because we've been on that flight before.
That's the flight that we always fly out of Portland
Airport into Burbank. And so that route that that plane
was taking, I've taken off that same runway probably in
that same plane on that same airline a half dozen times.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
The National Transportation Safety Board, or dozens of times. The
National Transportation Safety Board found issues with Boeing's production process,
training documentation, and safety culture, as well as the FAA's
oversight aviation.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You what that means that now Alaska is the safest
airline to fly.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
That's what that means.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Aviation is known for redundancy in its process. That's why
aviation is so safe. There was no redundancy here.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Chair Jennifer Hammandy, Is this all due to a human
error on the manufacturing floor Boeing.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It is due to a process issue, a process failure.
So really what we needed here was a design change
or a better process.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Was there sufficient FAA oversight of bowing production?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
No, And that would have been the type of redundancy
that could have helped a little bit at the on
the outside.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
When this seven thirty seven Max was being manufactured, Boeing workers, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
The plane that Angel won't go on. If Angel's going
on vacation and it's a seven thirty seven Max.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Don't hit me with the Max, man?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Do you still you still check on it to see
if it's a Max.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Absolutely? And if it is, I'll look for another carrier
or another flight that's not one of those planes.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So you're not going out with the Max.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
There's no way I'm going out with the Max.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Max.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I hit you with the Max.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
When this seven thirty seven Max was being manufactured, Boeing
workers removed the door panel to make repairs to rivets. Nearby.
Paperwork that would have triggered additional inspections was never created,
and the panel was reinstalled without the bolts.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Oh, without the bolts what?
Speaker 6 (06:51):
And the panel was reinstalled without the bolts. Oh no,
the team doing the work had never opened that kind
of door panel before. What the team doing the work.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay, the team doing the work.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Had never opened that kind of door panel before.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Really, the team doing the work to make sure the
windows and doors were secured had never done that before.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
It seriously was like louder than a gunshot.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It was like a firework.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Among the passengers. Three lapped children and four kids traveling alone.
Oh my, Shandy Brewer was sitting in row ten that night.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And talk about that. Three kids traveling on their own.
You know, the parents put the kid on the plane
and then another parent picks them up when they get there,
traveling alone on that flight. So when that door blows off,
those kids who are traveling alone don't have mom or
dad to hold on to and say, hey, is this
going to be okay? They had to figure that out themselves.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Shandy Brewer was sitting in row ten that night and
took these pictures. She hopes the board's findings make flying safer.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
It was so preventable. I hope that they're held accountable
and that they take it a straw again.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I feel like everybody on that plane when.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
The investigators found if just one of those bolts had
been properly installed, that door panel would have stayed on.
The FAA says it takes the NTSB recommendation seriously.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Man, are they lucky that nobody flew out of that plane?
You know that could easily could have been you know,
two or three people, maybe a kid gone right all
of a sudden, you're on the outside of that plane.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Boeing says it regrets the accident and is reviewing the findings.
Both have made significant changes since this accident. The NTSB
believes there's more work to be done.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I wonder if somebody does get blown out a plane
of a plane like that. Let's say that, you know,
the door does pop open, kids not strapped in and
he's gone. Is he still conscious outside like he's floating around,
flying around, going This is not good?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
This is this sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I was inside with a bag of peanuts coke, reading
an onboard magazine, and now I'm flipping around outside the plane.
I wonder if you're still conscious or you lose consciousness
right away? You know, you're you're so shocked.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
But there was that story about that pilot that got
sucked out of the cockpit and they were holding onto
his body out of the windshield. Do you remember this.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I don't remember that that dream.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Yeah, it was a dream I had, But this they
thought he was dead, but they held onto his body
because they didn't want it to fly out and land
in the jet and then cause some bigger problems for
the plane.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh I see right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
And so what they landed, he had like massive frostbite
and everything, but the guy survived.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Wow. How long ago was that?
Speaker 7 (09:40):
I'llt to look it up. I'll send you the link.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
But it's crazy, all right, all right, So we're on standby.
I'm on high alert.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Oh you're waiting. Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I don't know if that's an angel dream that you
you know, you can't figure out, or that really happened.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
No, it really really happened. It really happened.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I died.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
We We have Dean Sharp coming up. That guy's great,
I know, yeah, he'll be with us. He's being he's
got some news for us. I'll let him tell you.
Dean Sharp has news about the House Whisper Show. It's
good news too.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KF I am.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Sixty every Thursday. Right around this time, we talked to
Dean Sharp. He's the host of that, he's the house
whisper and he's on every single Saturday from six to
eight am and Sunday from nine am until noon.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And Dean, how are you, Bob? I'm great, I'm great, man.
But you got some great news for us.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Huh yeah, well, I don't know if it's great news
for us, but it's great news in general for you.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It's great news for me, right.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah, the home you know, the little show we do
on the weekends around here, the Sunday show. Starting on
July sixth, which is one week from this coming Sunday, right,
we are going to start simulcasting onto uh co Go
in San Diego, so we're gonna be live down in
San Diego as well. So we've kind of moved into
(11:09):
a second market down there.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That's fantastic. You know, that's how syndication starts. It starts
with one station, then two, then nine, then one hundred
and then three hundred.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Uh that that'd be great, three would be good. But
that's that's terrific.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I mean, that's that's a whole new audience that'll be
listening to you and and a whole new group of
people that are interested in the people who sponsor your
show as well.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
San Diego is a great city, the county, everything that's fantastic,
And they're a fantastic station, great group of people to
be working with. Just more. iHeart family extended, iHeart family, right,
and yeah, super, I'm very enthused.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And it's the same climates. You don't have to really
alter your show. If you're you know, syndicated in LA
and also in bangor Maine, you'd have to really sort
of cater to two different climates, but you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Do that here.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yeah, you're right, you're right, And we've talked about that
in the past that you know, we we're we're without
changing the show, we can pretty much work West of
the Rockies generally speaking, right.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
But and it's not that we couldn't do East Coast stuff,
but we would have to include some more kinds of things.
We'd have to be talking about basements a lot more
and boilers and things like that, which I'm happy to do.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But I think Oil delivered.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Hey, here's something totally off topic. You were talking about CPK, right,
and Kid and just those childhood memories. So I'm in
Dana Point today talking to some clients. And the lovely
client that I was working with today, Patricia, she said, oh,
by the way, tell Tim, I don't know if he
will remember. I don't know if he was there, but
(12:49):
I used to run into his dad at the A
and p at Mamarineck New York constant is right. I'm like,
I have no idea. She's like, do you know if
he ever lived there? I said, I have no idea,
but I'll ask him.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
My stepmother's from that area, so yeah, he probably was
in that area. There you go, you know, sliding into ampm,
buying those cheetos.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
He likes exactly, buying frozens and eight dinners didn't turn out.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
So well, that's right, that's exactly right. Hey, I got
a question for you. Actually was a question from one
of our listeners, and they asked me, and I said,
I don't know, I'll ask Dean. But the question was,
how often is there a benchmark or a rule of
thumb of how often you should have your house painted?
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
No, not really no. I mean here's the thing. I
can tell you this.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
If you if you put thirty year guaranteed warranty paint
on your house, and you wait thirty years. You've waited
too long, Okay, all right, because you know, weather just
has its way. I mean a thirty year paint is great,
but you know, around your twenty if it was a
fantastic paint job, you should be getting serious about doing
at least some touch ups. So you just gotta you
(13:58):
just got to keep an eye on right. So exterior.
You know, when when you're outside and everything looks okay,
but you know you you rub your hand along the
paint on the outside of the house and it comes
away a little chalky, little residue on your hand, you
know it's time to start thinking about that next cot
of paint. That's the kind of stuff you're looking for.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You know, when you install a like a dog eared
redwood fence properly, the last five six seven inches on
the ground should be brick and the woods should never
be touching the ground.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Isn't that true?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be bricked, or
it has to be something well, you know, it all
depends on what you're trying to keep in or out. Okay,
But the question is, don't stick the slats into the.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Soil, right, right, because the moisture and yeah, yeah, but
the question is not related to the fence but housing.
Like we have stucco on our house, and the stucco
that comes down into the house that meets the grass
is always falling off.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Okay, Okay, so now this is a whole diff deal. Okay,
So now you got an older home, and it's understandable
that this is the case. Back before World War in fact,
back before the sixties, right, this was just so common.
You just run stucco all the way down the wall,
right off the edge to the slab and into the soil.
My house is the same way. Okay, that is not
(15:20):
how it should be done because stucco is cement and
I don't care how good the paint job is, it's
going to absorb water. And once the water is inside
the stucco, And no, the stucco is not the waterproofing
for the house, it's the paper behind it.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Once the water is inside, the stucco needs to get out.
It's got to go somewhere. So a brand new home, okay,
what we do is we hold the stucco up a
good four to six inches from the soil at the bottom,
and we have this this flashing that's called a weep screed.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's a little.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Triangular flashing, and it becomes the screed. It becomes the
end point of the stucco. It's where if you go
outside your house and you see your stucco stop and
then it jumps in about an inch, that's where the
weep screen in. And that flashing has holes in the bottom,
so it weeps. It allows the stucco to weep the
moisture out of it because if it doesn't, guess what
(16:12):
the water's coming out, and it's going to push the
finished coat of the stucco off from the backside. And
that's why your stucco is always flaking down near the
bottom of your soil.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Can you retrofit that in or does it have to
be installed when you build a house.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
No, you can totally retrofit it in. I mean, it's
not pleasant and it's not pretty. But you call a
stucco contractor and say, hey, I got no weep screen
on my eighty year old house. Come out here and
give me a quote. And what they'll do They'll run
us all along the bottom right at the bottom plate line,
they'll install the flashing, they'll patch it all up, and
then it will be working the proper way from there
(16:48):
on out.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I can tell you quick story about Burbank when we
come back. I got a call from Burbank about something
that they said was wrong with my house, and they
were right, and we'll go ahead and I'll I'll tell
you what it is. But they called me and said, hey,
you got a problem with your house and you got
to fix it, and they were one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
He called you that you just picked up the vone.
You're like, hey, this is Burbank.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
The Burbank called and said, hey, you've got a problem.
I'll tell you about what we'll come back.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
It was.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It was if they saved me money too. All right,
We're live. Dean Sharver's with Us. Home is now syndicated
in LA and San Diego, so you can enjoy it
in either city.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Dean Sharves with Us, the host of Home heard in
La and in San Diego. Dean, I'm sorry, what's the
station in San Diego? Is a KGO Cogo it's a
six hundred coco Coco yeah co go. Oh, So let
me tell you a story real quick about Burbank. Then
we'll get back to uh Studley Holmes. But I got
(17:53):
a call, actually, my wife got a call, and she
said it was like, I don't know, it's like nine
or o'clock at night, I believe, And she said, just
got a call or a text from the city at
Burbank and our water has been running for thirty six
straight hours. We have some kind of water leak. And
I'm like, oh, f now I got to go find
(18:14):
this water leak. And I went outside and one of
the sprinklers, the you know, the the spigot or whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
You call them to turn it on.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
What is that thing called around sprinkler turner on her
was broken and it's springing valve.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, the valve was broken and it was leaking.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
And so I just shut the main water off to
the sprinklers, go to home deep and replace it. But
if they didn't tell me about that, Like I've lived
in the city of la and I've had a water
leak in the city of Vala. They never told you
me about They just sent me a bill for twelve
hundred dollars. But in Burbank they call you and tell
you you got a problem. It's unbelievable. That's awesome. That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
So they're obviously they're on the electronic monitoring system, right.
That means that they're taking these readings and they've got
an algorithm that's just kind of you know, it's not snooping,
just looking at what your average water consumption is, and
if all of a sudden there's a spike, they're going
to call you. That is fantastic. I mean every city
should be like that. Cities are moving there pretty quick.
(19:11):
You know, La, a place like La is probably going
to be one of the last places to go there,
just because you know, it's a behemoth.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Right, So they don't have meter readers anymore? Then something else?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah, I mean out here where I live in Thousand Oaks,
we have meter readers, but they don't pull up the
thing and they don't look at the dial physically. They
kind of just walk by with their little electronic device
really and they get close enough to the meter and
it tells them what they need to know and they
move on.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Wow, modern technology, I love it. Man.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Do you recommend skylights? That was another email that came in.
They were really hip and fashionable in the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Skylights have never gone out of style for those who
want to use them in the right place, And they've
always been out of style for people who don't, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
What they're doing.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
And I would not recommend you. That's not a do
it yourself project.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Usually not, No, usually not, because the skylight's got to
tie well into the roofing material. You know, some people
just think by definition that I don't put a skylight
up there, it's gonna leak, right, No. No, I mean
we've installed hundreds of skylights in all sorts of different
roofing situations and none of them have ever leaked ever.
(20:29):
And uh, it's just a question of you know, do
you know how to do it the right way? That's
what it comes down to.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, my mom had two of them installed in our kitchen.
She renovated the kitchen, had two skylight big ones installed
in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
They're beautiful.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But the first day it rained, my stupid brother and
I threw a cup of water at it from inside
and said to my mom, hey, look they're leaking, and.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
She blew a fuse man.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You guys are awful unbelievable. All right, here's another one
from listener. Power washing might be the most satisfying thing
you can do at your house, But does it hurt
a wood deck when you powerwash it?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I mean an actual wood deck, not really, not really, No,
you know, if it's in good shape, I don't like
to Powerwah. There are certain things we don't want to powerwash. Okay,
we don't want to power wash a house with twenty
year old paint. Getting back, Yeah, you're gonna prematurely blast
it off. We never want to power wash you know,
(21:32):
the algae off of our asphalt composite roof, okay, because
it's too strong a pressure and you're going to start
blowing granules off and prematurely age those roof tiles. But
things like concrete and wood decking, if it just really
needs a good clean, not a problem. Just don't overdo
it because you are essentially injecting moisture, you know, fairly
(21:56):
deep under the surface. You got to give it some
time to recover. And the probably the biggest problem people
have with power washing their deck is they do it
because they're cleaning it and they want to restain it,
and so they powersh it on Tuesday night and they
start putting stain on Monday morning.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
And it's still wet. You're gonna let it dry out.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So just you know, cool your jets a little bit
in between the power wash and when you get around
to putting those new finishes on.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Here's another one from a listener, how often you replace
the air conditioner in your home?
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Uh, the air conditioner itself on average, you know, and
as somebody's going to call in and say, I've had
the same one for forty seven years, and that's that
can happen. But on average, the air conditioner is probably
good for you know, fifteen and if you take really
good care of it, twenty years. The biggest problem with
air conditioners is we keep upgrading and changing the refrigerant.
(22:53):
And as a result, because the state and the nation
federal regulations keep up grading refrigerant, then you know, ten
year old refrigerant doesn't work in your fifteen year old AC.
And so the only place now that the old stuff
is available is from old units are being taken out
(23:13):
and it's having been bled off of them, which means
it's like liquid platinum. I mean it is so expensive. Yeah, right,
to recharge an old AC unit with the bled off
you know, basically antique free on and refrigerant. So the
unit itself though, you know, it's got a good fifteen
plus years in it if it's well taken care of.
(23:35):
Furnaces inside can last kind of indefinitely, but they have
to get changed out when they reach the point where
they no longer sync up with the new AC unit.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So right, that's what when we got our estimates and
we end up not replacing it because I found a
guy that you know, just throw some free on them,
but you throw a band aid on it. But whenever
we got estimates, they said the whole system has to
be changed out.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, that's because they're there is a point. And furnaces,
you know, gas furnaces, they're pretty basic. They're just tubes
with holes in it and flame comes out and there's
a band right, but there is a circuit board and
there is communication between the units, and a gas furnace
can get old enough where it is no longer communicating
well with the new stuff. Plus course California we've got
(24:20):
all sorts of new regulations about high efficiency gas. So
chances are if you're looking to change out your AC
today in California, they're both going.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I have a good AC guy. He's a one man band.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
He fixes out, you know, whenever we have a problem,
he comes out the same day and he's a really
nice guy. But he gave me a bill because all
our free on escaped through a leak, and he gave
me a bill just as you were saying to put
new free on in that system. It was twenty four
one hundred dollars. That's right, I'm telling you, not mighty.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
If he's got to collect that thing from from other
units that they've bled off and that so it gets
to be it's a p vicious material.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yes, or you got to ship it in you know, overseas,
you know, and secretly have a delivered deal exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Can't get it here, Yeah, crazy buddy.
Speaker 1 (25:10):

Mo Kelly's coming up next right here on KFI A
M six fort
It's k IF I am sixty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app Krozier
Bellio Angel Staffo. Anybody a CPK fan on the show?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Like I am big? Yes? Please huge, Yes. I love CPK.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It's one of the all time great restaurants. I used
to work across the street from the original one on
Beverly Drive, and there was a line out the door
every night, and since then, it's been my favorite restaurant
to go to.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
My daughter loved it.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
My daughter went through a three year period where that's
all she ate is CPK. So whenever we like went
to Thanksgiving at a relative's house, we had to make
sure we stopped on the way or on the way
back at CPK.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I never really had one around where I lived, so
I was just not one out there.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
No, no, no, really, there's one in like further out
in Ontario, like Victoria Gardens.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's a great restaurant. Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Have you ever had the Kung Pow pasta? Oh? My god,
make it. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So I was at Costco two nights ago with my
lovely wife and I saw on the shelf California Pizza Kitchen,
Kung Poo pasta sauce.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You've talked about that for years, My god, buddy, I
literally talked about that for years.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I was doing cartwheels in the in the aisle, and
I bought two jars. You have by two jars. It's
one of those things where you know they sticky with
more than you could ever possibly eat for seven dollars
and ninety seven cents. And I took it home and
I made it last night, and then I was reading
the directions. I thought, you just put the sauce on
the noodles in your gold.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
The directions are go to the market by garlic.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Peppers, and scallions, at all the ingredients. Yeah, and then
fry those up and then put the sauce in and
let that simmer for you know, fifteen twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
W So you didn't do that. I did not do that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I just said the sauce right onto the pasta worst decision.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Ever. Did you realize right away or did you kind
of go something's different.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I took a bite. It tasted like a cleaning solution.
So I took another bite. Thing it's got to be me.
It wasn't. I don't know what happened, but look, we
can only be honest on the show. We'll tell you
if something's great, and we'll tell you something is horrible.
That is not the same Kung Pow pasta. You buy
(02:31):
a California Pizza Kitchen. I have spent over my lifetime,
probably tens of thousands of dollars at California Pizza Kitchen.
I still go there all the time. I love how
warm it is in there, I love the people work there,
I love how great the food is there. But layoff
the Kung Pow sauce at Costco. It's not the same.
(02:54):
It's not even close. It may even turn you off
of CPK, that's how crazy it is. But California Pete's Kitchen,
it's one of the fair places. A lot of great memories,
especially if you have kids. You know what I'm talking about.
You know, to go into there after a baseball game
or after recital or something, and Pete in that California
(03:15):
Pizz's Kitchen big part of my daughter's childhood. I enjoyed
every one of those visits. I love that place.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I got to keep that place in business, so I
go there all the time. All right, let's talk about
Dukes in Malibu.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Very popular restaurant Dukes closed down because of the fires
and the floods. Let's find out when Dukes is going
to open back up for restaurant tours or restaurant goers
or eaters.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Duke's Restaurant in Malibu announcing on Instagram they are hopeful
their Barefoot bar will be reopening in late July. The
beach favorite has been temporarily closed since the Palisades Fire
closed pch and then strong storms in February hit the
building with mud and debris. The restaurant suffered extensive damage
from the slide. Duke says they are looking forward to
(04:02):
rehiring their employees and welcoming.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes, that's great, Dukes one of the really cool places
to have dinner or lunch and look at the ocean.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Duke's back open in July. Airlined I the let's talk
about this here.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
The NTSB board and Boeing and training in Alaska airlines
there seemed to always be in the news.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
The NTSB is making about a dozen safety recommendations, primarily.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
This is that door that flew off the Alaska airline
the Boeing I think it was a seven thirty seven really.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
To the FAA and Boeing after finding the probable cause
here was Boeing's inadequate training, guidance and oversight of its
factory workers. After nearly eighteen months since the door panel
blew out of this Alaska Airline seven thirty seven Max
mid flight with one hundred and seventy seven people on board.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You know, this hit home rather and this is really
close to home because we've been on that flight before.
That's the flight that we always fly out of Portland
Airport into Burbank. And so that route that that plane
was taking, I've taken off that same runway probably in
that same plane on that same airline a half dozen times.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
The National Transportation Safety Board, or dozens of times. The
National Transportation Safety Board found issues with Boeing's production process,
training documentation, and safety culture, as well as the FAA's
oversight aviation.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You what that means that now Alaska is the safest
airline to fly.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
That's what that means.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Aviation is known for redundancy in its process. That's why
aviation is so safe. There was no redundancy here.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Chair Jennifer Hammandy, Is this all due to a human
error on the manufacturing floor Boeing.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It is due to a process issue, a process failure.
So really what we needed here was a design change
or a better process.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Was there sufficient FAA oversight of bowing production?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
No, And that would have been the type of redundancy
that could have helped a little bit at the on
the outside.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
When this seven thirty seven Max was being manufactured, Boeing workers, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
The plane that Angel won't go on. If Angel's going
on vacation and it's a seven thirty seven Max.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Don't hit me with the Max, man?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Do you still you still check on it to see
if it's a Max.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Absolutely? And if it is, I'll look for another carrier
or another flight that's not one of those planes.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So you're not going out with the Max.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
There's no way I'm going out with the Max.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Max.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I hit you with the Max.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
When this seven thirty seven Max was being manufactured, Boeing
workers removed the door panel to make repairs to rivets. Nearby.
Paperwork that would have triggered additional inspections was never created,
and the panel was reinstalled without the bolts.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Oh, without the bolts what?
Speaker 6 (06:51):
And the panel was reinstalled without the bolts. Oh no,
the team doing the work had never opened that kind
of door panel before. What the team doing the work.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay, the team doing the work.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Had never opened that kind of door panel before.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Really, the team doing the work to make sure the
windows and doors were secured had never done that before.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
It seriously was like louder than a gunshot.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It was like a firework.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Among the passengers. Three lapped children and four kids traveling alone.
Oh my, Shandy Brewer was sitting in row ten that night.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And talk about that. Three kids traveling on their own.
You know, the parents put the kid on the plane
and then another parent picks them up when they get there,
traveling alone on that flight. So when that door blows off,
those kids who are traveling alone don't have mom or
dad to hold on to and say, hey, is this
going to be okay? They had to figure that out themselves.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Shandy Brewer was sitting in row ten that night and
took these pictures. She hopes the board's findings make flying safer.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
It was so preventable. I hope that they're held accountable
and that they take it a straw again.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I feel like everybody on that plane when.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
The investigators found if just one of those bolts had
been properly installed, that door panel would have stayed on.
The FAA says it takes the NTSB recommendation seriously.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Man, are they lucky that nobody flew out of that plane?
You know that could easily could have been you know,
two or three people, maybe a kid gone right all
of a sudden, you're on the outside of that plane.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Boeing says it regrets the accident and is reviewing the findings.
Both have made significant changes since this accident. The NTSB
believes there's more work to be done.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I wonder if somebody does get blown out a plane
of a plane like that. Let's say that, you know,
the door does pop open, kids not strapped in and
he's gone. Is he still conscious outside like he's floating around,
flying around, going This is not good?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
This is this sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I was inside with a bag of peanuts coke, reading
an onboard magazine, and now I'm flipping around outside the plane.
I wonder if you're still conscious or you lose consciousness
right away? You know, you're you're so shocked.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
But there was that story about that pilot that got
sucked out of the cockpit and they were holding onto
his body out of the windshield. Do you remember this.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I don't remember that that dream.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Yeah, it was a dream I had, But this they
thought he was dead, but they held onto his body
because they didn't want it to fly out and land
in the jet and then cause some bigger problems for
the plane.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh I see right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
And so what they landed, he had like massive frostbite
and everything, but the guy survived.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Wow. How long ago was that?
Speaker 7 (09:40):
I'llt to look it up. I'll send you the link.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
But it's crazy, all right, all right, So we're on standby.
I'm on high alert.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Oh you're waiting. Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I don't know if that's an angel dream that you
you know, you can't figure out, or that really happened.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
No, it really really happened. It really happened.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I died.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
We We have Dean Sharp coming up. That guy's great,
I know, yeah, he'll be with us. He's being he's
got some news for us. I'll let him tell you.
Dean Sharp has news about the House Whisper Show. It's
good news too.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KF I am.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Sixty every Thursday. Right around this time, we talked to
Dean Sharp. He's the host of that, he's the house
whisper and he's on every single Saturday from six to
eight am and Sunday from nine am until noon.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And Dean, how are you, Bob? I'm great, I'm great, man.
But you got some great news for us.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Huh yeah, well, I don't know if it's great news
for us, but it's great news in general for you.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It's great news for me, right.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah, the home you know, the little show we do
on the weekends around here, the Sunday show. Starting on
July sixth, which is one week from this coming Sunday, right,
we are going to start simulcasting onto uh co Go
in San Diego, so we're gonna be live down in
San Diego as well. So we've kind of moved into
(11:09):
a second market down there.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That's fantastic. You know, that's how syndication starts. It starts
with one station, then two, then nine, then one hundred
and then three hundred.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Uh that that'd be great, three would be good. But
that's that's terrific.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I mean, that's that's a whole new audience that'll be
listening to you and and a whole new group of
people that are interested in the people who sponsor your
show as well.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
San Diego is a great city, the county, everything that's fantastic,
And they're a fantastic station, great group of people to
be working with. Just more. iHeart family extended, iHeart family, right,
and yeah, super, I'm very enthused.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And it's the same climates. You don't have to really
alter your show. If you're you know, syndicated in LA
and also in bangor Maine, you'd have to really sort
of cater to two different climates, but you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Do that here.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yeah, you're right, you're right, And we've talked about that
in the past that you know, we we're we're without
changing the show, we can pretty much work West of
the Rockies generally speaking, right.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
But and it's not that we couldn't do East Coast stuff,
but we would have to include some more kinds of things.
We'd have to be talking about basements a lot more
and boilers and things like that, which I'm happy to do.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But I think Oil delivered.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Hey, here's something totally off topic. You were talking about CPK, right,
and Kid and just those childhood memories. So I'm in
Dana Point today talking to some clients. And the lovely
client that I was working with today, Patricia, she said, oh,
by the way, tell Tim, I don't know if he
will remember. I don't know if he was there, but
(12:49):
I used to run into his dad at the A
and p at Mamarineck New York constant is right. I'm like,
I have no idea. She's like, do you know if
he ever lived there? I said, I have no idea,
but I'll ask him.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
My stepmother's from that area, so yeah, he probably was
in that area. There you go, you know, sliding into ampm,
buying those cheetos.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
He likes exactly, buying frozens and eight dinners didn't turn out.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
So well, that's right, that's exactly right. Hey, I got
a question for you. Actually was a question from one
of our listeners, and they asked me, and I said,
I don't know, I'll ask Dean. But the question was,
how often is there a benchmark or a rule of
thumb of how often you should have your house painted?
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
No, not really no. I mean here's the thing. I
can tell you this.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
If you if you put thirty year guaranteed warranty paint
on your house, and you wait thirty years. You've waited
too long, Okay, all right, because you know, weather just
has its way. I mean a thirty year paint is great,
but you know, around your twenty if it was a
fantastic paint job, you should be getting serious about doing
at least some touch ups. So you just gotta you
(13:58):
just got to keep an eye on right. So exterior.
You know, when when you're outside and everything looks okay,
but you know you you rub your hand along the
paint on the outside of the house and it comes
away a little chalky, little residue on your hand, you
know it's time to start thinking about that next cot
of paint. That's the kind of stuff you're looking for.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You know, when you install a like a dog eared
redwood fence properly, the last five six seven inches on
the ground should be brick and the woods should never
be touching the ground.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Isn't that true?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be bricked, or
it has to be something well, you know, it all
depends on what you're trying to keep in or out. Okay,
But the question is, don't stick the slats into the.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Soil, right, right, because the moisture and yeah, yeah, but
the question is not related to the fence but housing.
Like we have stucco on our house, and the stucco
that comes down into the house that meets the grass
is always falling off.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Okay, Okay, so now this is a whole diff deal. Okay,
So now you got an older home, and it's understandable
that this is the case. Back before World War in fact,
back before the sixties, right, this was just so common.
You just run stucco all the way down the wall,
right off the edge to the slab and into the soil.
My house is the same way. Okay, that is not
(15:20):
how it should be done because stucco is cement and
I don't care how good the paint job is, it's
going to absorb water. And once the water is inside
the stucco, And no, the stucco is not the waterproofing
for the house, it's the paper behind it.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Once the water is inside, the stucco needs to get out.
It's got to go somewhere. So a brand new home, okay,
what we do is we hold the stucco up a
good four to six inches from the soil at the bottom,
and we have this this flashing that's called a weep screed.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's a little.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Triangular flashing, and it becomes the screed. It becomes the
end point of the stucco. It's where if you go
outside your house and you see your stucco stop and
then it jumps in about an inch, that's where the
weep screen in. And that flashing has holes in the bottom,
so it weeps. It allows the stucco to weep the
moisture out of it because if it doesn't, guess what
(16:12):
the water's coming out, and it's going to push the
finished coat of the stucco off from the backside. And
that's why your stucco is always flaking down near the
bottom of your soil.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Can you retrofit that in or does it have to
be installed when you build a house.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
No, you can totally retrofit it in. I mean, it's
not pleasant and it's not pretty. But you call a
stucco contractor and say, hey, I got no weep screen
on my eighty year old house. Come out here and
give me a quote. And what they'll do They'll run
us all along the bottom right at the bottom plate line,
they'll install the flashing, they'll patch it all up, and
then it will be working the proper way from there
(16:48):
on out.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I can tell you quick story about Burbank when we
come back. I got a call from Burbank about something
that they said was wrong with my house, and they
were right, and we'll go ahead and I'll I'll tell
you what it is. But they called me and said, hey,
you got a problem with your house and you got
to fix it, and they were one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
He called you that you just picked up the vone.
You're like, hey, this is Burbank.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
The Burbank called and said, hey, you've got a problem.
I'll tell you about what we'll come back.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
It was.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It was if they saved me money too. All right,
We're live. Dean Sharver's with Us. Home is now syndicated
in LA and San Diego, so you can enjoy it
in either city.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Dean Sharves with Us, the host of Home heard in
La and in San Diego. Dean, I'm sorry, what's the
station in San Diego? Is a KGO Cogo it's a
six hundred coco Coco yeah co go. Oh, So let
me tell you a story real quick about Burbank. Then
we'll get back to uh Studley Holmes. But I got
(17:53):
a call, actually, my wife got a call, and she
said it was like, I don't know, it's like nine
or o'clock at night, I believe, And she said, just
got a call or a text from the city at
Burbank and our water has been running for thirty six
straight hours. We have some kind of water leak. And
I'm like, oh, f now I got to go find
(18:14):
this water leak. And I went outside and one of
the sprinklers, the you know, the the spigot or whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
You call them to turn it on.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
What is that thing called around sprinkler turner on her
was broken and it's springing valve.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, the valve was broken and it was leaking.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
And so I just shut the main water off to
the sprinklers, go to home deep and replace it. But
if they didn't tell me about that, Like I've lived
in the city of la and I've had a water
leak in the city of Vala. They never told you
me about They just sent me a bill for twelve
hundred dollars. But in Burbank they call you and tell
you you got a problem. It's unbelievable. That's awesome. That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
So they're obviously they're on the electronic monitoring system, right.
That means that they're taking these readings and they've got
an algorithm that's just kind of you know, it's not snooping,
just looking at what your average water consumption is, and
if all of a sudden there's a spike, they're going
to call you. That is fantastic. I mean every city
should be like that. Cities are moving there pretty quick.
(19:11):
You know, La, a place like La is probably going
to be one of the last places to go there,
just because you know, it's a behemoth.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Right, So they don't have meter readers anymore? Then something else?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah, I mean out here where I live in Thousand Oaks,
we have meter readers, but they don't pull up the
thing and they don't look at the dial physically. They
kind of just walk by with their little electronic device
really and they get close enough to the meter and
it tells them what they need to know and they
move on.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Wow, modern technology, I love it. Man.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Do you recommend skylights? That was another email that came in.
They were really hip and fashionable in the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Skylights have never gone out of style for those who
want to use them in the right place, And they've
always been out of style for people who don't, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
What they're doing.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
And I would not recommend you. That's not a do
it yourself project.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Usually not, No, usually not, because the skylight's got to
tie well into the roofing material. You know, some people
just think by definition that I don't put a skylight
up there, it's gonna leak, right, No. No, I mean
we've installed hundreds of skylights in all sorts of different
roofing situations and none of them have ever leaked ever.
(20:29):
And uh, it's just a question of you know, do
you know how to do it the right way? That's
what it comes down to.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, my mom had two of them installed in our kitchen.
She renovated the kitchen, had two skylight big ones installed
in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
They're beautiful.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But the first day it rained, my stupid brother and
I threw a cup of water at it from inside
and said to my mom, hey, look they're leaking, and.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
She blew a fuse man.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You guys are awful unbelievable. All right, here's another one
from listener. Power washing might be the most satisfying thing
you can do at your house, But does it hurt
a wood deck when you powerwash it?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I mean an actual wood deck, not really, not really, No,
you know, if it's in good shape, I don't like
to Powerwah. There are certain things we don't want to powerwash. Okay,
we don't want to power wash a house with twenty
year old paint. Getting back, Yeah, you're gonna prematurely blast
it off. We never want to power wash you know,
(21:32):
the algae off of our asphalt composite roof, okay, because
it's too strong a pressure and you're going to start
blowing granules off and prematurely age those roof tiles. But
things like concrete and wood decking, if it just really
needs a good clean, not a problem. Just don't overdo
it because you are essentially injecting moisture, you know, fairly
(21:56):
deep under the surface. You got to give it some
time to recover. And the probably the biggest problem people
have with power washing their deck is they do it
because they're cleaning it and they want to restain it,
and so they powersh it on Tuesday night and they
start putting stain on Monday morning.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
And it's still wet. You're gonna let it dry out.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So just you know, cool your jets a little bit
in between the power wash and when you get around
to putting those new finishes on.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Here's another one from a listener, how often you replace
the air conditioner in your home?
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Uh, the air conditioner itself on average, you know, and
as somebody's going to call in and say, I've had
the same one for forty seven years, and that's that
can happen. But on average, the air conditioner is probably
good for you know, fifteen and if you take really
good care of it, twenty years. The biggest problem with
air conditioners is we keep upgrading and changing the refrigerant.
(22:53):
And as a result, because the state and the nation
federal regulations keep up grading refrigerant, then you know, ten
year old refrigerant doesn't work in your fifteen year old AC.
And so the only place now that the old stuff
is available is from old units are being taken out
(23:13):
and it's having been bled off of them, which means
it's like liquid platinum. I mean it is so expensive. Yeah, right,
to recharge an old AC unit with the bled off
you know, basically antique free on and refrigerant. So the
unit itself though, you know, it's got a good fifteen
plus years in it if it's well taken care of.
(23:35):
Furnaces inside can last kind of indefinitely, but they have
to get changed out when they reach the point where
they no longer sync up with the new AC unit.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So right, that's what when we got our estimates and
we end up not replacing it because I found a
guy that you know, just throw some free on them,
but you throw a band aid on it. But whenever
we got estimates, they said the whole system has to
be changed out.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, that's because they're there is a point. And furnaces,
you know, gas furnaces, they're pretty basic. They're just tubes
with holes in it and flame comes out and there's
a band right, but there is a circuit board and
there is communication between the units, and a gas furnace
can get old enough where it is no longer communicating
well with the new stuff. Plus course California we've got
(24:20):
all sorts of new regulations about high efficiency gas. So
chances are if you're looking to change out your AC
today in California, they're both going.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I have a good AC guy. He's a one man band.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
He fixes out, you know, whenever we have a problem,
he comes out the same day and he's a really
nice guy. But he gave me a bill because all
our free on escaped through a leak, and he gave
me a bill just as you were saying to put
new free on in that system. It was twenty four
one hundred dollars. That's right, I'm telling you, not mighty.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
If he's got to collect that thing from from other
units that they've bled off and that so it gets
to be it's a p vicious material.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yes, or you got to ship it in you know, overseas,
you know, and secretly have a delivered deal exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Can't get it here, Yeah, crazy buddy.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Congratulations on the syndication on KFI and also on a
